How can tutoring help you succeed on the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2?

The SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2 covers topics beyond the scope of basic algebra, branching into applications of trigonometry and pre-calculus. Where the Level 1 exam focuses more on plane geometry, the Level 2 test covers more three-dimensional geometry and coordinate geometry applications. While the increased difficulty of the Level 2 exam may make a high score more appealing to colleges, simply taking classes in pre-calculus is not enough to prepare adequately.

To perform well on the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2, it is often necessary to study both the material content presented and the particular question styles and methods of presentation common to the exam structure. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with private tutoring in locations throughout the United States.

We recognize that each test taker brings with him or her a different experience with math coursework, and will have different concerns and difficulties when dealing with test material. Math classes rarely address the SAT Subject Tests directly, study groups can be unfocused, and online and printed resources are few and far between. Working with a personal instructor can help your preparation stay focused on the material that you need to cover most, while introducing strategies for tackling the different question types and formats on test day.

When studying for a test with this type of complexity, it can be hard to identify exactly where you should begin. You may have an understanding of different ways to study, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you understand which method or methods are the most effective for you personally. A private tutor can help in this capacity because the individualized nature of your study sessions can provide them with enough information to determine where exactly your strengths and weaknesses lie. They can also identify what your learning style is by talking with you and observing you work. Once they have this information, they can help you understanding how exactly you should be studying. They can also alter the way they teach to fit with your learning style. This will allow them to come up with a plan to mitigate your weaknesses and maximize your strengths.

By closely working with you, your tutor can develop a customized learning approach to cover these topics in depth. Whether you are seeking a comprehensive review of hyperbolic functions or need to know when it is best to use your calculator, a personal tutor can share experiences and study tips to help you perform to your potential on the exam.

One area you may struggle with while taking the test is managing your time effectively. Even though you may know the material, if you fail to manage your time, you will likely not have enough time to answer all of the questions. A skilled and experienced tutor can help you develop time management skills, which will ensure that you are not wasting time on the test.

Varsity Tutors places a strong emphasis on flexibility and convenience. Our live learning platform allows you to meet with your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This enables you to choose a time and place that works best for you. Studying for the SAT Mathematics Subject Test Level 2 can be an extremely frustrating and stressful experience. Some of this stress and frustration can be reduced by studying in a location where you feel most comfortable. So whether you feel most comfortable studying in a café or coffee shop, your own home, in a library, or outside in a park, your private tutor is happy to meet you there.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"Today the student and I did an overview. I explained the basics of the test (timing, content, and scoring) and we went through the easiest (first 15) and most challenging (last 15) questions on a practice test. He did very well on the questions. He struggled some with questions on trigonometric identities, but after reviewing he was easily able to recall how to solve them. I advised that he review Algebra II notes and Trigonometry, as these make up a large portion of the questions. Before working out each problem, I had him consider what type of math the question contained to help focus him before starting to solve."

"- First meeting 8/8

- Focused on Math, did some physics. Recommended PR physics and prep Math, next time Physics.

"We reviewed 3 practice tests that the student had taken (2 SAT 2 Math Level 1 tests and 1 SAT 2 Math Level 2 test). We went over the problems she had questions about as well as general strategies and concepts that are on the test."

"The student finished practice tests in SAT II Math 2 and Chemistry in preparation for his tests Saturday. He improved over his original diagnostics. We spent some time addressing his feel over the course of the test and how he tackled the timing for the test. He had good strategies and cited feeling very confident throughout. Those are good signs, and his score will continue to improve if he continues to work on analyzing each question individually. Test taking speed is a minor issue as he only felt mildly rushed at the end of each test, but some of the questions that he answered incorrectly on the practice test were the result of reading errors. We will continue to address some concept based concerns and likely more test taking strategy issues."

"Went over what subjects will be more prevalent (algebra and geometry in math, literature and poetry in literature). Went over topics that were not as easy, such as Volume/S.A. of a cone, trig identities, probabilities, and methods on test taking and simplifying problems. In Literature, we went over some unfamiliar terms and methods on how to read the passages. Also spoke on the need to be time-efficient on both subject tests."

"The student and I started studying for his math subject test. We went through practice problems, and I assigned him a practice test to take before next session. We talked about looking at a problem for a little bit longer before starting to write; this is to make sure that one has the fastest method of solving in mind."

"We went over the topics we'd identified last time as problematic for the student, including polar coordinates, vectors, the 3D distance formula, and several others. We also went over some problems the student had trouble solving. Finally, we discussed what we would do in the remaining two weeks."

"Found more practice problems online for Math levels 1 and 2, and went through them with the student. He seems to be getting a much better time working out the problems."

"Today we worked on SAT 2 math. We started again at sequences and series, and we spent quite a bit of time making sure he understood the topic. We then did some limits and corrected some matrix problems"

"The student went through a variety of practice problems. We ended up doing a review of geometry, a mini-lesson on matrices (specifically properties of matrices), as well as a brief summary of relevant statistics. We also did a trig review of special right triangles. I encouraged her to do as many practice problems as possible and email me about questions. She will be taking the subject test this Saturday."

"We focused on geometry, limits, functions, angles, and absolute value questions. The student seemed to understand the general idea of all the topics. His test is about two weeks away so there is a lot still left for us to cover. I left the student with review and reading material."
